The Royal Thai Army has launched air strikes against Cambodian military positions along their disputed border, following a series of clashes that resulted in the death of one Thai soldier and injuries to four others. The escalation appears to mark a collapse of the ceasefire agreement between the two nations.

According to Major General Winthai Suvaree, the Thai army spokesperson, the air strikes were a response to Cambodian military actions that posed a threat to Thai territory. Civilians in the affected areas have been ordered to evacuate.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has cancelled his scheduled plans, including a visit to flood relief efforts in southern Thailand, in light of the developing situation.

The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has been ongoing, with both countries accusing each other of breaching the ceasefire agreement signed earlier this year.
